¹We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

¹ Doonkoy jine bora se. I m'a doon da subo kaŋ ga ne: «Ma si halaci». Asaf baytu fo no, dooni mo no.

²When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

² Ya Irikoy, iri ga saabu ni se, iri ga saabu, Zama ni maa ga maan. Borey goono ga ni dambara harey baaru dede.

³The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. Selah.

³ Ni ne: «Saaya kaŋ alwaato kaŋ ay jisi din to, Ay no ga ciiti da mate kaŋ ga saba.

⁴I said to the arrogant, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.

⁴ Waati kaŋ ndunnya da nga ra gorokoy kulu ga jijiri, Ay no g'a bonjarey sinji. (Wa dangay)

⁵Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t speak with a stiff neck.”

⁵ Ay ne foomantey se: ‹Wa si fooma.› Laalakoyey mo, ay ne i se: ‹Wa si boŋ jare.

⁶For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.

⁶ Wa si araŋ hilley tunandi beene, Araŋ ma si salaŋ da gande-gaabay.› »

⁷But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another.

⁷ Zama manti wayna funay, manti wayna kaŋay, Manti mo dandi kambe haray no beeray ga fun bo,

⁸For in the hand of Yahweh there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

⁸ Amma Irikoy no ga ti Ciitikwa. A ga boro fo kaynandi, a ma afo mo beerandi.

⁹But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

⁹ Zama Rabbi kambe ra gonda gaasiya, Duvaŋo* kaŋ go a ra mo ga te kufu, A ga to da marga-marga, Irikoy ga soogu ka kaa a ra mo. A zambo mo, daahir boro laaley kulu kaŋ go ndunnya g'a zinji-zinji ka zu.

¹⁰I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

¹⁰ Amma ay wo, hal abada ay g'a baaro fe, Ay ma sifayaŋ baytu te Yakuba Irikoyo se.

¹¹ A ga boro laaley hilley kulu pati, Amma adilantey hilley ga du darza.
